吉尔莫女孩：生命中的一年

jobless 的人Rory 跟回头重温第七季的人设不一致。按她这个path 及在耶鲁校报editior 的经验，这个年纪应该至少是个有一定影响力的报刊的editor。无房无工作的loser的可能性实在不大。不过虽然美颜都拦不住的老态这母女两还是几时年如一日的任性。所有的男友中最喜欢Logon，一直对反社会规范的Jess 无感。

看吉尔莫女孩实在非常容易产生代入感，尤其当你是个背井离乡的小镇姑娘，而且是别人眼中的「别人家的孩子」。

Rory似乎是个美版沈佳宜，从人际单纯但因此颇有负担的家乡来到人人见怪不怪的纽约，挤在自己小小的但是独立的公寓，职业生涯卡在尴尬的瓶颈，复杂恋情见不得光，连对最亲密的妈妈也只能含糊其辞，「我住在我的朋友Didi那儿」。成年人的世界太多无法言说，不管是遇上什么麻烦，还是being attracted to someone in a fucked up way，原来Rory也和生活在城市各个角落的，每一个因为追求更大的世界而逃离家乡，在城市匆匆行人和刺耳喇叭声里面目模糊的普通女孩一样。

Loralei作为妈妈和朋友实在太酷，而作为女儿几乎可以说是一个彻头彻尾的「灾难」。这个女孩在父母面前永远尖酸刻薄神经兮兮，做出各种不符合社交礼仪的事，一辈子都在用最激烈的方式试图逃出美式中产的生活轨迹。她想要的很简单，就是想做个随心所欲的普通人，自己的各种狗屎自己figure out的那种普通人。要选一首她人生的主题曲，也许就是Pulp的《Common People》吧。

然而这个回归短剧最打动我的就是，在父亲葬礼结束后大家围坐在一起讲不出一个「关于爸爸Richard最美好的记忆」故事的Loralei，在去远足那天忘了通行证，站在空无一人的山谷给她妈妈打的那个电话：那年生日她从衣柜里偷了祖母那件带小珠子的绿色上衣，搭上水手裤，觉得没有人比自己更飒，然而在学校里惨遭奚落。她逃课到商场坐在food court大哭，身上连买个pretzel的钱都没有，好不巧碰上从来不上商场的她爸。她爸对她怒吼，质问她为什么不去上学？她只知道大哭。等她哭完，她爸居然手拿一个pretzel站在她面前，一句话也没问，带她上了馆子，看了电影，回家只字不提她逃学的事情。

年少的我有无数个类似的和我爸对质的时刻，几乎每次冷战都以我爸叫我吃饭告终。然而我不记得我是否因为在学校被奚落而发脾气，也不记得是否穿了一件带小珠子的漂亮绿色上衣，更不记得我是不是想吃一个pretzel。唯一一个从我妈那里听来的故事，是两岁的我挨了我妈的打还被推出大门，是我爸把我拎了回来。不禁打了一个冷战。坐在我爸的葬礼上那天，我会是那个讲不出一个好故事的Loralei吗？

最后，Paris依然是我最爱的人物，没有之一。

不知道已经看了多少遍的经典剧。 Gilmore Girls is my favourite TV series throughout the past decades. I've watched Friends repeatedly, it's easy to watch, funny to laugh, it's like a cup of hot chocolate in the cold winter making you feel safe and warm. Gilmore Girls is even better than that. The conversation is witty, fast, loquacious, satirical, full of pop culture and literature references. The cast is only the most good-looking, ingenious group of actors and actresses there ever is. And most importantly, it's a mother-daughter show happening in a small, appealing town called Stars Hollow in Connecticuit, the show revolves life stories of Lorelai Gilmore and Rory Gilmore (Lorelai Gilmore, the mother named her daughter after herself): their love lives, laughter, sorrows, significant life events, obsession with coffee, good music, books, pop cultures, witty verbal banters, and junk food.

To me, Gilmore Girls is a classic. Amy Sherman-Palladino is my favourite screenwriter other than Aaron Sorkin (the screenwriter for The Social Network, The West Wing and The Newsroom). She has won Primetime Emmy Awards for another creation of hers- The Marvelous Mrs Maisel. She is one of the trailblazers in this industry- an extremely talented producer and screenwriter. She is the sort of role model for a lot of women who seek to pursue a similar career.

The Marvellous Mrs Maisel- also created by Amy Sherman-Palladino

Spoiler alert! 剧透预警！！

The story of Rory Gilmore is charming, inspiring, yet screams elitism. The mother and daughter are not materialistic at all, however, they are from a wealthy, white, middle-class American family. On one point, the whole story is based on Rory's academic studies in Chilton and Yale, life in Stars Hollow, Friday-night dinner in Hartford with her grandparents (who sponsored her private school tuition and college tuition- Christopher, Rory's father sponsored her for Yale as well, she also has a trust fund set up for her by her grandparents), and upcoming career challenges. Rory was initially studying at Stars Hollow High, where she met her first love- Dean Forrester. She later transferred to a private school- Chilton and studied diligently for her life goal- Harvard University. Somehow she ended up going to Yale. She is an intimidatingly smart, driven girl who knows what she wants in life.

One of my favourite features of the show is definitely Rory's love life (I love her academic mind tremendously, I'm also nerdy and enjoy readings wholeheartedly). Dean, Jess, and Logan have shaped her perspectives on relationship. Dean is Rory's first love, he is the perfect boyfriend she could ever ask for. In Rory's own words, quote below:

Rory and Dean ran into each other after all these years again in Dosey's market

It was a mutual love-at-first-sight. They fell in love quickly and became the "it" couple of the town. It was a shame that they went different directions, Rory has set Harvard as her goal since she was three, Dean was just a boy moved from Chicago with his family to Stars Hollow, he doesn't have a specific plan for life after high school. They were each other's sweetheart, but life was too cruel to make Dean realize that Rory belongs to a bigger world, he had to let her go eventually.

Jess is so different from Dean. He is the bad guy that most teenage girls would fall for- good-looking, well-read, despises everything, etc. Rory and Jess have so much in common. He is smart enough to read all the books he can find, they can have conversations about books, music, cult movies, being defiant and reckless from time to time. Rory knows that she can relax and explore different sides of herself when she is with Jess. But Jess was emotionally unavailable for her in the end. He ran away from everything, he was being elusive about senior prom (Rory was really looking forward to attending prom with Jess), Rory had a bright future ahead of her, she moved on after the graduation trip to Europe with Lorelai.

Logan and Rory did not start on the right foot- it was like Elizabeth and Mr Darcy in Pride and Prejudice for a short period of time. But it turns out that they are actually right for each other on every aspect. They went through ups and downs hand in hand.If it weren't for the job on Obama's presidential campaign, they really would end up together.

This is just one great feature of the show, there is so much to watch, and it's definitely a classic among all those TV series in history.I highly recommend this show to anyone who loves classic TV series.

Wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
